I could probably look it up quickly on the web, but my fingers are tired from chasing VC and RL all over this forum

A stone is 14 pounds.Hence 140 pounds =ten stones. I've never had the need to work it out any further!

I weighed about 54 kilos too when I was your age,you impertinent little whippersnapper!  People kept telling me I had to eat more because I was so painfully thin. It's very often the way when you're young. You can cram all manner of junk food in you and never gain a pound/kilo but then,usually sometime in your 20's,you realise that parts of you that shouldn't, have certainly started protruding alarmingly and you step on the scales and like many,many before you utter the immortal words: "These scales must be faulty!" But alas no,they are dead accurate and you have then been initiated into true adulthood: Commencing the war against the waistline spread which you are tragically,and irrevocably,destined to lose. It awaits you in the future,Penguin....WHOA-HA-HA-HA!!

Not all Americans are tubs-of-lard. I actually weigh a pitiful 120 pounds, and I'm five feet 11 inches. (for you Metric guys out there, that's, er, 1.524 meters and 4.331 centimeters; 120 pounds [not the money kind!] is 54.431 kilograms)
Man, do I love that unit converter my dad downloaded!

If I become fat I'm gonna blame the likes of Danbo,James and Gdub (and therefore Panoramic-a fat nickname if I ever saw one!) because this is proof of your Yankee Imperialism spreading across the Internet!

I had slowly turned into a tub of lard over the last couple of years so I went on a diet starting a few months ago and now I've lost 17 kilos and have only 4-5 left before I once more have my ideal weight. It's a weight off my mind.  (Groan!)

I don't know about most Americans, but I could definitely stand to lose some weight. In fact, it looks like I'll have to...because Reed Lover's approval is so important to me

A recent survey here in Norway revealed that it's now the norm to be overweight. Junk food and tv are chiefly to blame. It's amazing our bodies can take this treatment! Well,it can't entirely since diabetes is increasing rapidly.

It seems that more and more people in the UK are getting fat too. Remember that Glasgow is the home of the deep fried Mars Bar

Of course not all Americans are fat but there definitely exists a specific kind of American obesity that you don't see anywhere else in the world. Or at least,you didn't until the slavering beast of American popular cultural emperialism (try saying that after a few pints! ), came along and devoured the world and turned classical,beautiful and civilized Europe into a playground for American vulgarity of the most moronic kind and started a cultural regression process the likes of which history hasn't witnessed since the dark ages!
I like Americans,I really do. It's America I can't stand. But then again, I can stand very few things. It makes my life very difficult.  
And parts of this post might conceivably be meant as a joke and should perhaps not be taken at face value. At least not entirely.
Oh, I truly hate Fridays!!
